About Me

Getting ready to take an intensive month-long course (CELTA) to become certified to teach English as a second language. I'm moving to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to live and work as an English teacher.

For more than 20 years I led a
somewhat conventional life with a career in sales, marketing and
management of high-tech hardware, software and Internet
companies. In 2002 I left America to live and travel in SE Asia,
working as a marketing consultant, a freelance photographer
and as a guitar player.

I spend my time learning,
reading, doing photography, playing guitar, listening to music, traveling,
meditating and walking around to see what’s going on in our world.

I'm particularly interested in;
innovation and the future of work in terms of cooperative and collaborative
tools and technologies used in an adaptive and agile way.

I was fortunate to have studied
with the 14th Dalai Lama at his temple near Dharamsala, India
some years ago, but that is just one of many exceptional experiences and
accomplishments.

As a photographer I have been
widely published in books, magazines and on the Internet. A unique travel
guide from Things Asian Press of San Francisco called "To Myanmar with Love: A Travel Guide for the
Connoisseur" exclusively features my photographs of
Myanmar, an isolated, exotic and beautiful country that few have ever
visited.

I question authority, break the
dominant paradigm, think for myself and I suggest that you do the same! I
aspire to do things that are collaborative and outrageously amazing in
vast mythical proportions!
